James Taylor
My Heart Stood Still
I laughed at sweethearts
I met at schools
All indiscreet hearts
They seemed romantic fools
A house in Iceland
It was my heart's domain
I see your eyes
Now castles rise in Spain!
I took one look at you
That’s all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That secret touch of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That secret touch of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still
Oh that moment when my heart stood still
